  I own the names “24northmain.com” and “etsy.com/24northmain”.

  I tried to register here and got “reserved name” for 24northmain.

  I tried to log in and got “not the password” for several passwords.

  I asked to reset password and received no email.

  I tried to recover account and got
  “http://24northmain/wordpress.com” is not at this site.

  I did not register here. At least, I don’t think I did but I have been looking at the site for the last few days trying understand my options.

  I could have started to register and never finished.

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/24northmain That username exists, and has a registered blog. You cannot register the wp.com URL you want, because it is reserved for that person. Pick a different URL.

  Yes, I know it belongs to someone else.

  Either I am that someone else (using this account because I can’t log in to that one) or someone is squatting on the name which seems unlikely.

  I am seeking help in accessing that account.

  So that person, who registered that account five years ago, might have been you?

  HI there,

  If you think that account belongs to you, you can try recovering through our account recovery form here:

  https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  You will need to provide one of the methods of verification to recover it.

  No we’re not them. I guess we’ll have to go elsewhere.

  thank you,
